Team Collaboration

Share services, stream AI sessions, sync clipboards, and send notifications across your team — all through NFLTR tunnels.

1. Share Your Dev Environment

Let teammates access your local services instantly:

# Share your local app for review
nfltr http 3000 --name alice-frontend

# Share with password protection
nfltr http 3000 --name alice-frontend --basic-auth reviewer:pass123

# Team member connects from their browser
open https://nfltr.xyz/browse/alice-frontend/

Pair programming with shared terminal

# Share a terminal session — team member gets a live shell view
nfltr terminal --basic-auth pair:coding --name pair-session

# Colleague opens in their browser — full interactive terminal
open https://nfltr.xyz/browse/pair-session/

2. Agent-to-Agent (A2A) Messaging

Send messages directly between agents — structured JSON payloads routed through NFLTR with E2EE enabled by default.

# Start an A2A listener
nfltr a2a --name build-bot --basic-auth bot:secret

# Send a message from another agent
curl -X POST https://nfltr.xyz/browse/build-bot/ \
  -H "Authorization: Basic $(echo -n bot:secret | base64)" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"task": "deploy", "env": "staging", "branch": "feature-x"}'

Use cases for A2A

• CI/CD webhooks — build bot receives deploy triggers
• IoT coordination — edge devices exchange sensor data
• Microservice testing — service A calls service B through tunnels
• Chat bots — receive and respond to structured messages

3. Remote AI Collaboration

Share an AI assistant session with your team — everyone accesses the same Claude/GPT interface through a browser.

# Share a Claude AI session
nfltr ai claude --basic-auth team:aipass --name team-claude

# Share a GPT session
nfltr ai chatgpt --basic-auth team:aipass --name team-gpt

Team members open the share URL to get a full chat interface. Great for collaborative brainstorming, code review, or documentation writing.

4. Live Log & Monitoring Dashboards

# Share production logs with the on-call team
nfltr tail /var/log/app.log --name prod-logs --basic-auth ops:oncall

# Share a live monitoring view
nfltr watch "kubectl get pods -o wide" --name k8s-status --basic-auth ops:oncall

# Share multiple services from one machine
nfltr tail /var/log/nginx/access.log --name nginx-logs &
nfltr watch "docker stats --no-stream" --name docker-stats &
nfltr watch "ss -tlnp" --name open-ports &

Each command gets its own URL — bookmark them for quick access during incidents.

5. Clipboard Sync

# Share clipboard between work machines
nfltr clipboard --name my-clip

# From any browser, paste/copy text via the web UI
open https://nfltr.xyz/browse/my-clip/

Handy for moving code snippets, URLs, or credentials between machines when you don't want to use email or chat.

6. Desktop Notifications

# Start notification listener
nfltr notify --name alerts

# Send a notification from CI or a script
curl -X POST https://nfltr.xyz/browse/alerts/ \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"title": "Build Complete", "body": "Deploy v2.1.3 succeeded"}'

Receive desktop notifications from remote systems — useful for long-running builds, deployment completions, or monitoring alerts.

7. File Sharing in Teams

# Share build artifacts with the QA team
nfltr serve ./dist --name qa-builds --basic-auth qa:testing

# Quick file share — generates a one-time URL
nfltr share release-v2.1.tar.gz

# P2P transfer to a specific colleague (maximum privacy)
nfltr p2p send ./confidential-report.pdf
# Colleague runs: nfltr p2p recv <code>

8. Multi-Service Demo Environment

Spin up a full demo environment from your local machine:

# Frontend
nfltr http 3000 --name demo-frontend

# API server
nfltr http 8080 --name demo-api

# Database admin UI
nfltr http 8081 --name demo-dbadmin --basic-auth admin:secret

# Monitoring
nfltr watch "docker compose ps" --name demo-status

Share the URLs with stakeholders — they get a fully functional preview with no deployment needed.
